In case you're wondering:
If you've been listening to our show for a while, you know that we're not focusing on gear a lot. We believe that not having expensive gear should not hold you back. It is never an excuse and you can make exciting sounding records with the simplest setup if you have the necessary skills.
However, great analog gear is fascinating to many. Including ourselves. It is fun, it can be inspiring and it definitely sounds great. And there are still many people who swear by it.
To us it's not either or, it's not better or worse. We believe that analog gear and plugins are all just tools and whatever works for someone is what they should use.
And yes, if you have access to amazing sounding equipment and know how to use it (it is not exactly the same as using plugins), then by all means go for it and see if you can get better results with it. Many engineers do. And Moritz Enders is one of them.
His records sound fantastic and he is willing to share why his approach works so well for him.
In this interview, Moritz Enders goes deep into his SSL mixing workflow
- What are the benefits of analog mixing?
- How does he handle recalls?
- What are the challenges compared to an in-the-box workflow?
We also talk about his general mixing philosophy and what you can take away from this to make your own mixes better.
And finally, Moritz answers questions from the live audience at Studioszene 2024.
Enjoy this conversation with one of Germany's greatest mixing engineers - Moritz Enders!
